MLK asked the question a long time ago if we had the will and with each passing year the answer seems to be a resounding no. im disgusted with the lack of imagination & humanity in our society

Oscillation ​vs Isolation At times I’m guilty of the latter but often I’m tangled in the former.

I'm leaning into more long form, going slow and trying to be more vulnerable around my work. There are some teasers at the end

I oughta be an otter playing in the water

Thinking of blowing up my patreon and starting a sub stack I don't really want anyone's money anyways, just your ears maybe a little conversation from time to time but honestly just your ears

Run Away

Sometimes life gives you forks not lemons and somehow you still gotta scoop up the good you can with it 🤷🏾‍♂️

I want to wake up to a better world so badly

I wasn't born today, I was involuntarily busted out into this joint

ooo but keys & synths BIG thanks to ELO and Forever the sickest kids i love creating atmosphere around a song (thank you Brian Eno too) but also getting weird and silly for some distinct flare creating cohesion is the challenge these things spill out all the time i have to edit out often lol

I think i start writing all my songs on acoustic because of Michelle branch and Conor oberst haha i also definitely think the constant choice for groovy bass lines even when not "needed" is thanks to Whitney Houston & funk in general especially Maxwell

Lyrically/vocally/ song structure mayday parade, the spill canvas and fall out boy I love a good bridge and i love telling a story whether it's narrative or purely metaphorical sound/progression/production choices has grown overtime thanks to the books, flatsound, the national, bright eyes & dntel

I don't want to get up and i don't know why I'm awake but we're gonna find a way to make things happen toda

Onion jive based queers, locally sourced & grown

I need someone to tell me when I'm wrong because they want me to be right not because of their pride

Was checking it out this morning, fascinating stuff

It has been a very ROUGH academic year while I do have to work the summer this is technically my 1st day off, so here's to hoping for a more productive season as I'm yearning/waiting patiently to release stuff 🙏🏾🙃🥹😬🤠🤘🏾

I can either talk about it or be about it but I'm not really good at doing both at the same time

Next Friday, 5/2….album # 5 goes wild into the world. ☺️😬

Sometimes I wish my mom would have miscarried me...

I may not always have the spoons but I've been doing this new thing of purposefully decompressing with a movie after work. With respect to my mood I intentionally choose things that will evoke emotion / open me up / change my head space. This has been huge for getting inspired to do some music stuff

Free will exists on a spectrum opening/closing as such while 1 has free will it's still usually confined or limited to another's free will. it can't be utilized without the backdrop of all existing will? And while one may have the will or desire do they have the access or means to act upon said will

Important!
